INTERSTATE COMMERCE.

Gossip About Construction of the Law in Its
Relation to Passenger Fares.
Special to the Indianapolis Journal
WASHINGTON. Feb. 27.-A great deal has been
said, in connection with the national drill to be
held here next May, about tho provisions of the
interstate-commerce bill regarding excursion
rates. Several lawyers in Congress have ex-
pressed the opinion that the railroads have no
more right to give reduced fare to people COM
ing here to attend this drill than they have to
ten or twenty persons who want to attend a pic
mic only few miles distant from their homes;
that the mere fact that this drill is national
affair will not warrant discrimination in favor of
people who can afford to 60 on an excursion at
an expense of 800 or 5000, and against those
who can afford a trip costing fifty cents or a
dollar They declare. in the first place, that if
this law prohibits the making of excursion rates
it will apply to all kinds of excursions; other
wise the provision is diabolical. The greatest
good to the greatest number of people. they say,
is effected in connection with railroad excur-
sions by low rates for short trips, and that any
other construction is discrimination in favor of
the wel3to-6o and against the poor. In the event
this law is not construed to prohibit excursion
rates, the door will be open to its full evasion.
Reduced or discriminating rates. under the name
of excursion tickets at any tariff could be issued
The construction to be placed upon the excur-
sion or reduced rate clause of the bill involves
also, the entire traffic of ticket-scalpers. The
provision is broad enough, it is said, to not only
exclude excursions, but to cut off the ticket
scalping business. while there is good ground
for admitting both of these, and this will un
doubtedly be the construction, there are
| many who voted for the bill! who declare they
would not have done so had they believed thai

A Brutal System.

We found twenty six inmates, all of
uhom have been lately brought there
of the farms and railroads, many OF
t,em with consumption and other III
rnr,ble diseases, and all bearing OH
tLrir persons marks o. the most inhu-
man and brutal treatment. Most OF
Them have their backs cut in great
whales. sears and blisters; some with
the skin peeling off in great pieces, the
result of severe beating. Their feet
and hands in some instances show
signs of frost bite, and all of them
with the stamp of manhood almost
blotted out of their faces, which shows
that they have been treated more cru
elly and brutally than nation of
savages ought to permit inflicted upon
their c0nvicts. They are lying dying,
some Of them on bare boards, so poor
and emaeiated that their bones almost
come through their skin; many COM
planning for the want of food. We be-
lieve they are fed improperly. Sick
people ought to have light diet, and
these poor creatures get their beefand
water and meal Tor soup as we are III
formed, with coarse meat and cabbage
such diet as they cannot eat. One
poor fellow burst out crying and said
he was literally starving to death. We
actually saw live vermin crawling
over their faces, and the little bedding
and clothing they have is in tatters
and stiff with filth.-An extract from
the report of the Kinds County Grand
Jury on the Penitentiary Hospital.
Let it be remembered that DeasOn
desires continuation of the leasing
system under which these bar
barities were committed, and Maxwell
is nOn-committal while Sessions
stands pledged unequivOcally for its
repeal.
The Brookhaven leader. [volume] (Brookhaven, Miss.) 1883-1891, 1887-11-07
1t Wont Work.

We learn that Mr.. Maxwell is trying
to work new electioneering trick i'll
his interest by appealing to Demo-
Gratis and members of the Alliance to
vote for him on the ground that he is
farmer, and that Sessions stands no
chance that the race has narrowed
down between himself and Deasor,
and that it would be just too Outrag-
eOus to have John Bolts elected, etc.
1t never seems to have occurred to
Mr.. Maxwell to get ont of the way
himself and let Sessions, who is one cf
the best farmers in the county, the
chosen representative of the Demo-
cratic party, and a member of the
Farmers Alliance in good standing,
be elected by the Democratic and far
mer vote though Mr.. Maxwell did ex-
press his willingness to get out of the
race for Staten Baker, a Republican
darkey, if he had been nominated by
a certain mass meeting.
We advise every farmer Democrat
and every other Democrat and voter
who wishes to see the county credita
bly, represented, to stand by Sessions,
whose election is now virtually assur-
ed.
As for choosing between Maxwell
and Deason, if, under existing eircum-
stances, we were forced to choose
either, we would vote for DeasOn.
Morally rotten, unscrupulOus and full
of political tricks as he is, nobody had
any right to expect any thing better
of him, but they had of Mr.. Maxwell.
The Brookhaven leader. [volume] (Brookhaven, Miss.) 1883-1891, 1887-11-07

Deason is an avowed friend of the
infamous Penitentiary leasing system,
and Maxwell is an old sub-lessee of
convicts, who has refused to declare
his position uneqnivocally on the sub
ject. Therefore, let every voter who
wishes to see this brutal system wiped
out, vote for Sessions, who stands on
a platform strongly pledged to abol-
ish it.
